Created attachment 106893 [details] dmesg output I've noticed a kernel BUG/Oops during a GPU stall when playing Legend of Grimrock (closed source). The oops causes X to become a defunct process with no entires in the Xorg.log file. The screen goes into standby mode and the only way to solve this is to reboot the computer. The machine is responsive via ssh and I've attached my dmesg output after the oops. I have not played this game with another kernel, so I don't know if it's new or not. I have a Radeon HD 4850, on an Intel Core2Duo with 8GB of ram.
This is likely a bug in the mesa driver that is triggered by the game that causes the kernel driver to attempt to reset the GPU. You should open a bug against the mesa r600 gallium driver: https://bugs.freedesktop.org
Will do
